Project Update: 🎃 Shipping Update: Monster Miaws 🐾
Hello, my wonderful miaw-frens 🐾
First of all, thank you all so much for your warm messages, patience, and support. I’m truly grateful for our Miaw community 💛
I’ve started shipping the packages that were not affected by the pin issue, and the recasted pins are currently in production and should arrive soon. Hopefully, it won’t be too much longer before the rest of the packages are on their way ✨
Once again, thank you for your understanding and for being just plain awesome 🫶
I also have a bit of happy news to share!

A new campaign I've been working on is coming soon, and I wanted to give you all a little sneak peek 👀
It started with the idea of creating some fantasy friends with a chaotic and funny twist… and that’s how Mischief Gnomes was born!
If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link to the teaser page 👇
It will be full of freebies, chaos, and mischief 😆
The collection also features Sparkles, my collab with Gilded Fables, as a special freebie! Sparkles carries all his hard-to-get-off glitter in his bottomless glitter pouch. This pin will include glitter enamel, and I’m really excited to try something playful and new ✨
Creating each little personality and backstory for these gnomes has brought me so much joy, and I truly hope they bring a little fun and laughter to you as well 😊
Stay sassy and mischievous 🐾

Project Update: 🎃 IMPORTANT Monster Miaws Shipping Update
Hello fur-frens, hope all is well 🐾
This email is more serious than my usual ones, so I appreciate your understanding.
Over the past weeks, both my parents landed in the hospital, for different reasons, but both at the same time. Unfortunately, my father passed away after his long cancer battle.
Because of this, I had to pause work for a bit to handle family matters and take some time to recover emotionally before continuing with fulfillment.
I resumed inspection this weekend and found a higher-than-acceptable number of production defects on some pin designs. I need to address this with the manufacturer, as the quality standards are not being met. They agree with me, but those designs will have to be remade and shipped over.
I hold your support in high esteem and respect, so I prioritize shipping your orders even through difficult moments. Orders containing unaffected designs will begin shipping first, while the remade affected pins arrive, and I am able to ship the remaining ones. This means some orders may ship earlier than others, depending on what is included in the order.
Thank you all so much for your patience, kindness, and understanding during such a difficult time. I truly appreciate all the support more than I can express 💛
Stay healthy and frisky

Project Update: 🎃 Monster Miaws Production Update!
Hello everyone, hope all is well!
As we await the pin production team to finish, I thought I would give some updates on the other goodies.
The Monster Miaw sticker sheets came out so nice! I found a new sticker paper that makes colors so crispy fine, paired with the matte laminate, they look sturdy and thick 😬 I still like my previous paper, but it had the manufacturer's logo on the backing, which was a micro bummer. But now it looks more profesh! 🧐
The magnetic bookmarks and tabs set is looking so spiffy. I am so pleased with how it turned out
I also want to give you all a HUGE THANK YOU! With your support, I was able to upgrade my cutting tool 🥰 What used to take forever, I can now do super quickly with the new stack guillotine.
I did this big stack of notes in about 15 minutes! Cutting backing cards and all my printed materials is now so much easier and faster, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. I used to be able to do only 3 sheets at a time with the cutter I had, so it took a long time. Since I hand-make every item (except for pins and DTF UV Stickers), working faster is key. I truly enjoy creating things by hand, and being more efficient is very satisfying.
I am currently finishing the die-cut stickers; the UV DTF stickers will be ready this week, and I can't wait to go pick them up from the print shop. In the next update, I'll have more pictures. My mission is to have everything ready, so when pins arrive, it is go go go!
Again, thank you all so much. I love the community we are building 🥰
Keep it miaw & frisky,
Jen
